# Doomscroll plugin for Obsidian Doomscroll is an [[Obsidian]] community plugin by Oleg Yaroshevych that takes the social media feed and points it at your vault. You get a shuffled feed of cards built from random notes, attachments, web clips and quotes. Its author's reason for building it: "My vault became write-only." It's designed for mobile: keep it in a pinned tab on your phone and scroll it during your commute, instead of someone else's feed. A few details make it better than pure randomness: - a note can't come back within 30 minutes - at most 20% of each batch comes from notes you've seen in the last 7 days - you can filter by folder, tag or file name pattern (only your diary, or only your quotes, for example) - the batch size goes from 5 to 50 cards, with optional infinite scrolling and a "back" button There's no "mark as reviewed". It's [[Value of serendipity in UX design|serendipity by design]], not a review system. Scope it to your permanent notes or quotes rather than to your whole vault; that's where rediscovery pays off. And when an old note comes back, link it to what you're working on now. It's a good replacement for the [[Smart random note plugin for Obsidian|Smart random note plugin]], which hasn't been updated since 2021. It hasn't been manually reviewed by Obsidian staff yet. ## References - Source code: https://github.com/yaroshevych/doomscroll - Community plugin page: https://obsidian.md/plugins?id=doomscroll ## Related - [[The Complete Guide to Obsidian Search - Find Any Note When You Need It (Article)]] - [[The Best Obsidian Plugins for Finding Notes (Article)]] - [[Random note core plugin for Obsidian]] - [[Smart random note plugin for Obsidian]] - [[Value of serendipity in UX design]] - [[Serendipity (MoC)]] - [[Better Backlinks plugin for Obsidian]] - [[VaultDex plugin for Obsidian]]
